WHY DID YOU WRITE “CHINA-TW” FOR ALL TAIWANESE UNIVERSITIES? WHAT WORLD DO YOU LIVE IN? YOU KNOW TAIWAN IS NOT A PART OF CHINA, SO DON’T LABEL TAIWAN AS “CHINA-TAIWAN”. TAIWAN IS AN INDEPENDENT SOVEREIGN COUNTRY. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT, BUDDY.

Mike - if you’ve read anything on this website you’d know that this is something I’m highly sensitive to. The only reason it says China-TW is because it’s quoted from a different source who regards China and Taiwan to be one. This in no way reflects my political opinion.

BTW - if you want to be heard and understood on this topic, I suggest taking a more calm and polite attitude.

I heard, in terms of reputation, quality of graduates, teaching methodology and quality of professors, Asian Institute of Management (AIM,Philippines) and Indian Institute of Management(IIM, India) are the Harvard and Yale in Asia Pacific. I was informed that, althoug it is harder to get in IIM, AIM is more expensive and has better diversity among Asian being able to attract other Asians like Thai, Singapore, Taiwan, Indonesian, Malaysia. While IIM is mostly Indians. I want to go to AIM Philippines), but tuition is US 24,000 plus 2-year housing, food, thesis, international student exchange expense which could be double that amount too. The US24K is cash because loan is just too expensive at 9% per month. Is there a cheaper way to do this? I feel that if I can get a top Asian MBA degree, I will have a unique advantage to work either in the US or Asia. Also top Asian MBA will be the way to go in the future if you already have an Ivy League undergrad. It’s like 2 Ivies from Asia and America, giving you the diversity,flexibility and unique advantage to work in both continents. What do you think?
